minus-squareBrkdncr@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up24·11 months agoEngines. 300hp out of 2L is impressive. It scales even better. V8’s can put out insane numbers.
minus-squareassplode@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·11 months agoFor real, internal combustion engines are made way better than they used to be. Both in terms of reliability and power output. You can get a small, ICE only (non-hybrid) car that gets 40+ MPG. You can buy a new car with a warranty that makes over 800 horsepower. The IC engine is at its peak. Electric is the future, but the current crop of ICE are incredible machines.
minus-squareJigglySackles@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 months agoNot to mention the reliability is better now. Basic maintenance will get you over 100k easy with no major concerns

minus-squareJunkers_Klunker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoThe ICE is “only” outputting ~380hp, the rest is from the electric boost.
